The best camping near Branson with horseback riding guide

Where to go

A Trio of Regional Lakes

Branson’s three largest lakes each has a personality all its own. Table Rock Lake is where the action is, popular with boaters and watersport-lovers. Its clear waters stretch from the center of town out into quieter coves surrounded by forested hillsides. Near historic downtown Branson, the chilly waters of Lake Taneycomo run behind the Branson Landing entertainment district. For a peaceful retreat, head to Bull Shoals. Many of the region’s most desired camping locales are on the shores of this trio of lakes, with RV campsites and tent sites offering lake views, easy access to the waters, and a quieter camping experience.

Springfield, Missouri

Less than an hour north of Branson lies Missouri’s third-largest city, Springfield. This is the birthplace of the original Bass Pro Shop, which was founded in 1972 and grew into one of the largest outdoor retailers in the U.S. The home shop is one of Springfield’s main attractions, with the award-winning Wonders of Wildlife Museum onsite. Private RV sites, public campgrounds, and glamping rentals are available across the region.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Take a scenic drive through the rollicking Ozarks hills to Eureka Springs, an hour south of Branson. Quite possibly the state’s quirkiest town, Eureka Springs has a culture all its own. Rumors of spring waters with healing properties gave the town its rise, and today, the historic downtown is surrounded by colorful Victorian homes. A number of highly rated private RV parks are found in the region, as well as public campgrounds, primarily Army Corps of Engineers parks along Beaver Lake.

When to go

Summer is the best time to go if you plan to hit the lakes, but know that summertime temperatures and humidity are often high. This is also the busiest tourist season. Spring and fall are less crowded, with fall bringing extra beauty to the Ozark mountains. Many Branson attractions are open through the winter and are less crowded, but you may encounter cold weather and winter precipitation, making this a less-than-ideal for campers.
